Parameter-driven 3D design

Shape the model.
Control every change.

Codaform is a focused 3D workspace for creating reusable engineering components from connected parameters. Make changes deliberately, see their effect clearly, and move from concept to a dependable model faster.

Illustrative workflow comparison. Actual time varies with model complexity and engineering requirements.

Lighter project files

Keep the detail.
Carry less data.

Conventional projects can repeat heavy STEP geometry for every component. Codaform keeps reusable, parameter-driven components compact, making large projects easier to store, transfer, and open.

Equivalent component coverage

Illustrative comparison showing a 70% reduction from 1.0 GB to 300 MB. Actual file-size savings depend on component complexity, repetition, and project structure.

A workspace built around intent

Change one decision.
See every consequence.

Direct 3D construction

Combine primitives, sketches, and features in one focused modeling workspace.

Visible relationships

Connect dimensions and dependencies so the logic behind each component remains understandable.

Controlled variation

Tune sizes and configurations from the inspector without rebuilding the model from scratch.

No coding

Everything that an experienced programmer has to offer but without the programming part.

Import and adapt existing work

Bring existing scripts into Codaform, then refine their geometry and parameters for the component you need instead of rebuilding from zero.
